does this incident rate an article??

This should just be noted in a more general article - merge it. This stuff goes on all the time between Israel and Syria. 104.169.16.173 (talk) 15:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First Israeli jet shot down since 1982, and first direct Iranian action against Israel (it was an Iranian drone, not Syrian). Ethanbas ^(talk) 16:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More details

Could you/anyone add which weapon used to downed F-16? Also under "Casualties and losses", add what are those 3 SAM batteries. --Antan O 06:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the Hebrew article, it say SAM batteries as S-200 (missile). So, the same missile downed F-16 as per S-200 (missile)#Syria.--Antan O 06:09, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

page moved

I was bold and moved the page to "February 2018 Israel–Syria–Iran incident" because this title includes the three involved parties. OtterAM (talk) 09:54, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'm OK with that for now. Ethanbas ^(talk) 09:57, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Main involved parties are Israel and Syria, and it's where the incident occurred. Also, to list three countries in the title is clumsy, and you did it not in alphabetical order, by the way. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 10:16, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 February 2018

February 2018 Israel–Syria incident → February 2018 Israel–Syria–Iran incident – The requested title involves the three countries that are involved in the incident. The incident involved Israeli airspace, Syrian airspace, an Iranian drone, Israeli aircraft, Syrian and Iranian bases, and Syrian antiaircraft missiles. Thus, all three countries need to be included in the title per WP:NPOV. By the way, the media doesn't seem to have come up with a unique name for this event yet. OtterAM (talk) 10:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Idea is right. But incident happened in Israel and Syria territories. The article and inbox clearly indicates about Iran's role. Iran involvement in 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict is accepted, but we cannot say it as 2014 Israel–Gaza–Iran conflict. --Antan O 10:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
